How do you tell if a job is dead-end? I’m going on an interview with a company for an entry-level position and want to figure out what the growth potential is. Are there things I can look out for? Questions I’m allowed to ask?

I don’t want to blow the interview and seem too pushy, but I really want a job that will let me build my skills and not get me stuck in a boring, dead-end position.

Here is how our T.A.P. experts answered this question:

Q#282 Dead end? Ask y position is open n/or Y positions open up n company. Ask about company growth n research industry. (@kgrantcareers)
